thanks for your feedback.

so far we're going with couch and haven't experienced this. the best part of course is that we can add items to documents on the fly whilst keeping the existing test data! this is major for us. we can go back to testing right away. with MySQL the changes were so major that it was better just dumping and recreating from scratch (we are using django) and this wasn't exactly fast. django has a project "south" that would help with this, but we're eventually deploying to oracle and cannot rely on it or have the time to extend it to properly work with oracle.
